I am trying to create an rpm for 3.0.1 version for nrpe using the tar.gz file. I am getting the below error. Is there a way to fix this issue ?
[XXXX SOURCES ]$ rpmbuild -ta 3.0.1.tar.gz
error: Failed to read spec file from 3.0.1.tar.gz

Creating RPMs is out of the scope of support. Fedora has very thorough documentation on the topic:

If you'd like, you can file a feature request on the NRPE github:

nrpe.spec is created from nrpe.spec.in during the ./configure process. So you need to run ./configure first, then re-tar and include the newly generated nrpe.spec file.

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
